Whats this called?
On the front end, there is a metal "strip" that goes across in front of the fenders. Its usually behind the bumper and right below the grill. What is this thing called? My 79 has a banged up front end, and that piece along with the fenders need replacin.

I don't know, I've never seen it before. But that definitely doesn't mean it hasn't been there before.
![]() Edit: That's cool, thanks for pointing that out. It's a fast way to reply. Yehaa.
